ATV FAQ

Although there are many reasons you will enjoy this ride, one of the main factors to consider is the terrain and trail system you will be on. We operate on private and public lands. What that means is we offer double the rideable terrain as any other competitors in the area. Also, on private land, trails can be manipulated to be extremely entertaining, these are not your run of the mill forest road, these are true side X side purpose built trails that are just a blast to ride on. This is your chance to get in on some of the best ATV adventures in Colorado!

Adventure exponentially grows! Only in the most severe lightning and rain storms will we delay or cancel a trip. Riding in the rain is a unique Colorado experience and we are game! So if its rainy weather, bring some rain gear with you, cause we embrace and love the challenge and excitement of wet conditions. We do stay on our 6000 acres of private land in rainy conditions as the public systems we have permits on are too slippery to travel on.

Not often. We run Honda Pioneers and they are great machines and are very stable. Your guide will brief you on proper use of the machine before embarking on the tour. If you adhere to the guidelines you will have no issues.
